CHICAGO – Jake Marisnick homered and matched a career high with five RBIs, and the Chicago Cubs pounded the Milwaukee Brewers 15-2 on Friday for their fourth straight victory.
Anthony Rizzo, Javier Báez and Willson Contreras also connected for Chicago, which was coming off a three-game sweep of the New York Mets.
Nico Hoerner had three hits in his first start of the season. Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks (1-2) pitched six innings of two-run ball in his first win of the season.
He struck out six and walked one, bouncing back nicely after a rough start against Atlanta. Milwaukee had won three in a row.
